New thunder .380 combat. Shoots great, no misfires or jamming. About 100 rounds of Federal FMJ through it so far.
I removed the magazine and cleared the chamber. With the safety in the the 'safe' position, I racked the slide and the hammer stayed cocked. The pistol would not fire. I moved the safety to the fire position and, without touching the trigger, the hammer released forward as it does when it's fired. I tried it again with the safety in the 'fire' position, a racked the slide and the hammer stayed cocked. (Remember, there is no magazine). When I moved the safety to the 'safe' position, without touching the trigger, the hammer fell forward as it does when it's fired.
Tonight, I'll try it with an empty magazine.
